Quotes from: Ancient Aliens "The Return" (2010)
Narrator: "What would happen after any potential extraterrestrial contact is open to much speculation. But most people concede one thing. The world as we know it would change dramatically."
Subsequent comments from Dr. Steven M. Greer, Director of The Disclosure Project: "The result would be that the fundamentalist orthodox belief systems of every organized religion on earth would collapse, meaning that it would really bring into question the origins of the human race, the Genesis stories, and a whole lot of other issues."
Intelligent Design and "aliens"
Back in 2002 we were asked to support the Intelligent Design (ID) movement. ID was being touted at the time as an alternative scientific theory to evolution. While we supported then (and still do) the concept of irreducible complexity that ID is based on, we were not enthusiastic in our support of ID as a final goal because of its failure to clearly identify who the "creator" was.
Those who practice true creation science believe the designer is the God of the Bible. However, ID doesn't attempt to identify who the designer is, it just says that there had to have been one. It leaves identification of the creator up to students, teachers and parents to decide for themselves. Some will conclude it's the God of the Bible. Others the false gods of their religion. Still others will conclude it was aliens.
The claim that "aliens" started human life on EarthThe claim that man's existence on earth is attributed to aliens is something we have suspected was coming for many years. Nowhere is the accuracy of that prediction more evident than the recent History Channel series called "Ancient Aliens". This series appears to do a good job of identifying the world-wide evidence of what they interpret as "alien" contacts going back thousands of years. It is likely that they have indeed uncovered evidence that our ancestors and many people today have had contact with intelligent beings that were far more advanced scientifically than we are. Where they really drop the ball is in the way they interpret the evidence.
The History Channel's frequent attacks against the BibleMany people (including many Christians) may not be aware of the fact that the Bible actually has an explanation for the whole UFO phenomena, alien contacts, etc. There are great spiritual dangers lurking for those who delve into this topic without the benefit of this Biblical context. We have noticed for years a tendency by the History Channel to attempt to disprove and discredit the authority and accuracy of the Bible. It is a subtle theme in many of their programs and the Ancient Aliens series is no exception. They are sneaky and often polite in their attempts to poison the minds of their viewers against the Bible. While most of the broadcast media today is highly biased against Christianity, the History Channel seems to have refined this to a fine art. I doubt that they have figured out yet whose cause they're really working for.
In the majority of the cases when they do present an alleged "Christian" perspective, it's normally a far left liberal member of the clergy who is engaging in Bible interpretation back flips, or the highly deceived leadership of the Catholic church to make the case that "Christians" support what they're saying. They will never present the kind of information that appears in the links below to their viewers in a fair and balanced way. If you want to get this important perspective, you need to be willing to think for yourself and not rely on the propagandists like those at the History Channel to help you ascertain what is really going on with UFO's and alien contacts.
Our position on UFOs and "aliens"Our position on this is pretty straightforward.
- Most UFO sightings can be explained either as mistaken identities of something else, or as hoaxes perpetrated by people. However, there is a smaller percentage of UFO and USO's (unidentified submerged objects) sightings that can be divided into these categories - real craft:
- not of human origin
- of human origin that are entirely human engineered (see this link)
- of human origin that were designed by humans with possible knowledge from the demonic and/or fallen angel realm
- possibly some reverse engineered recovered craft
- and demonic illusions (I am suspicious that the majority of sightings fall into this category)
The case for the existence of at least some real UFO aircraft (as opposed to demonic illusions) is a strong one. There is a popular misconception that only guys named "Bubba" who are drunk at the time see them. The reality is that they have been observed in recent times by fighter pilots from several countries, astronauts, presidents, commercial airline pilots, military security personnel and one of the most intriguing cases I've ever heard of 62 school children.
One example of an alleged flying saucer created by a human is that of famous inventor Nicola Tesla's flying saucer (click here for details). According to this 9.5 minute documentary, Tesla possessed scientific knowledge far in advance of his time. At least one of his greatest inventions appeared in his mind almost instantaneously. He suffered most of his life from "hallucinations" and other thoughts that tormented him. Several years ago I knew a man who was running a successful graphics art business. I saw some of his work which was amazing. I noticed that some of his work involved 3D images that had what appeared to be ancient hieroglyphics in them. I asked him about it and he told me he was able to read and write hieroglyphics literally overnight. After further probing, I learned that he had been in contact with eight "spirit guides" (what he called them). They each had a name, and some were more powerful than others. Even after I warned him he was in contact with demons or fallen angels, he insisted that he wanted to stay in contact with them because they were "helping" him so much (see our Sprits link for more information about people who have contacts with spirits).
I see many similarities between the Nicola Tesla story and his. I'm not saying Tesla was definitely getting information from the demonic realm, but I am suggesting that given the tormented life he appears to have lead, the nature of that torment (very similar to demonic harassment activity), and his amazing scientific insights, it's a possibility that should not be ruled out. He may very well have been able to invent a working flying saucer with that kind of help, and may have been experiencing demonic harassment or even possession.
- The alleged "aliens" have almost certainly been involved in contacts with humans in the past and in the present going back thousands of years.
- In some cases, these creatures may be real biological entities who possess scientific knowledge far beyond our own. However, I recently read a lengthy article (8 chapters long) at this link that makes a fairly good case that they may all be the result of demonic trickery. The only weakness I saw in this article is that it didn't seem to adequately address this Bible verse, which does seem to suggest that fallen angels can indeed cause human women to have evil biological offspring:
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare [children] to them, the same [became] mighty men which [were] of old, men of renown. Genesis 6:4
"Sons of God" are fallen angels (angels kicked out of heaven along with Satan for rebelling against God). I still suspect most UFO and alien appearances are due to demonic trickery, but am not yet convinced that 100% of them are.
- They are 100% evil. They are not aliens from other planets. They have been here on Earth all along. They do NOT have are best interests in mind, and any suggestions they make to the contrary are a smoke screen intended to deceive us.
Therefore rejoice, [ye] heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
Revelations 12:12 (KJV)- Their ultimate goal is to undermine the authority of the Bible and to distract the world away from the truths it contains. It would also appear that they may intend to use the cover story of ET's removing people from earth as an explanation for a possible rapture of Christians (their removal from Earth by Jesus prior to a 7 year tribulation period). They will pretend to be looking out for our best interests, and many of the biblically uninformed will accept their misleading messages.
- The reason they are being so evasive as far as public appearances are concerned and are giving us only sneak peeks at this time is because they a) are being restrained by God and b) are still in the process of preparing us so that the uninformed will welcome them as "aliens" from another planet when they do fully manifest themselves. At some point during the coming 7 year tribulation period, God's restraint will be lifted. Thanks to the efforts of programs like the History Channel's Ancient Aliens series, we are now very close to the point of being ready to accept their misleading ET cover story.
- I have read enough alleged "alien abduction" stories to know without a doubt that those who aren't perpetrating hoaxes are indeed having these experiences. Those who mock and ridicule them simply don't know what they're talking about. Secular (non Christian) psychologists and psychiatrists who attribute all of their experiences to some kind of mental problem are also clueless in my opinion when demonic activity is really what's behind it. I believe the abductees are being absolutely honest about experiences they've had, because what they are experiencing is in so many ways similar to other types of demonic harassment.
Alleged alien abductions rarely if ever occur with real Christians. People who claim to have had abduction experiences are frequently those who are involved in some occult activities, or who may have family members involved in those activities that have drawn the attention of demons into their homes. Some invite the abduction problem into their lives by actively seeking out opportunities to have contact with what they mistakenly believe are aliens. Sometimes its a generational thing passed down from ancestors involved in these activities. They are open to being deceived by demons because they probably are not saved, and have little to no protection from the only person who can protect them from this demonic activity, Jesus Christ. They are also normally not aware of the fact that they can stop the harassment by invoking the name of Jesus Christ and sincerely asking him to intervene on their behalf. They'll find out real quick who they're really dealing with when they do this because the true God of the Bible is the one person they are absolutely terrified of.
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
James 2:19 (King James Version)
We are born into this world on the losing side of a cosmic spiritual war. There is no neutral ground. You are either lost (you have not accepted Jesus as your savior) and working for Satan's cause by default, or saved and working for God's cause. The only way to get onto the winning side is by accepting Jesus Christ as your savior.
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Revelations 12:7-9 (KJV)- I have personally known or have had e-mail communications with approximately 50 people who were (or still are) having direct contacts with demons or fallen angels. They see and/or hear them while they are awake, in much the same way alien abductees see the various forms of alleged aliens (see our Spirits page for more info). I have been present with some of them when these incidents occurred. In 95% or more of the cases, they mistakenly believed they were communicating with "good" spirits, deceased relatives or friends and/or spirit guides. People who don't believe these things actually happen are very uninformed about this issue.
There are many similarities between what they are told by the demons that communicate with them and the messages alleged UFO abductees receive. The common thread is that in both cases they falsely claim to have good intentions and want the humans they contact to rely on them for guidance. I have two living relatives and two deceased ones who have been involved in a UFO cult for many years. As far as this cult is concerned, members normally are not directly contacted by demons as far as I know. However, at least two of my relatives involved in this cult have had past involvement in seeing demons (prior to their involvement with this cult) that they mistakenly believed were "good" spirits. The common thread among all three of these demon/human interactions is that the guidance the demons offer, whether it be through direct contacts or through cult materials, is always a distraction away from saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, and to attempt to destroy the credibility of the Bible.
- The whole UFO/alien phenomena is part of a much larger web of deception from Satan, demons and fallen angels that includes evolutionism, relativism, political correctness, the various false religions, the world-wide Marian apparitions, UFO cults, etc.
- Those who have had abduction experiences can very often stop them by calling on Jesus Christ to help them. People being harassed by demons in other ways (i.e. spirit guides, alleged deceased relatives appearing to them, etc.) can do the same thing. See this link for more information.
Free six-hour web presentation of the Biblical view that we recommendOne of the goals of higher education should be to teach critical thinking skills. In order to think critically about an issue, one must first possess a full inventory of all the relevant facts and evidence about the topic in question. The Biblical perspective on this topic is by far the most important one because it alone exposes the truth about what is really going on.
We recommend the web site below as a good starting point to get informed on this important perspective. It contains about six hours of streaming video and related PowerPoint presentations broken down into one hour segments. We are not affiliated with them in any way and make no money from referring people to their site. We link to them because of the quality of their information on this topic.

Evidence for a Spiritual View of the "Alien" phenomenon
This is another excellent streaming presentation that can also be read as text if you prefer the transcript (which also has the slides used in the video). It's a good overview of why the alien topic should properly be seen as a biblical, spiritual one.

A message to our fellow Christians
We want to encourage you to get serious about educating yourselves about this issue, and get busy dealing with it in your local churches. As a church, we largely sat on the sidelines and watched while Senator Lyndon Johnson (who later became president) introduced a bill that took away some of our free speech by telling us we couldn't get involved in political activities if we want to be tax exempt. We mostly stayed on the sidelines while the evolutionism myth went largely unchallenged in the public arena and grew in its acceptance even though God warned us many centuries ago that this myth would be prevalent in the last days. Even today many church leaders still to not recognize the damage that it has caused to the credibility of scriptures, and they foolishly continue to treat it as a back burner issue.
We are making the same mistakes with the UFO/alien phenomena. We are being viciously attacked by Satan and his allies and seem largely clueless about it. We waste precious time in our youth groups playing games and holding our youth to very low standards when we should be vigilantly watching what is happening in our world, and training them (and all the adults) how to effectively deal with these clever deceptions from Satan and his kind. In my opinion, we are becoming more and more impotent as effective ambassadors for truth as we continue to drift further away from the realities of the spiritual battles that confront us. It doesn't have to be this way.
The Lord is working behind the scenes and thankfully we can always count on his sovereign will to be influencing events. However, he also expects us to remain vigilant and to do our part in standing for the truth. If we cede our responsibilities to boldly proclaim God's truths to atheist scientists and the Satan controlled media (like the History Channel), how will those who are not saved through faith in Jesus Christ ever know the truth if we won't tell them? Why don't we already have a well coordinated response? Why are so many of these battles being fought almost exclusively by Para church organizations instead of the churches themselves?
Please do your God given jobs and get involved in this fight in a meaningful way. If you really claim to love those who are lost, then stop sitting on the sidelines or wasting time on busy work while they are being lead by their noses to their eternal spiritual slaughters by demonic influences they do not understand or in many cases don't even believe exist. We are in the last days. Let's stop wasting time and start fighting the good fight for our Lord, and for the lost who don't yet know the truth about these issues. Do you love them enough to inconvenience yourselves to get involved in this fight? I hope the answer for more of you will be "yes". Jesus first loved us when we were unlovable, and awash in sins against his pure and holy nature. Jesus was willing to die for us to pay for our sins because we could not pay the debt ourselves. We need to follow his example and show that same kind of love towards those who mock and hate us. If we don't get more active at speaking up for the truth in the public arena (not just inside our churches), then who will?
